At least 50 killed in Egyptian clashes
At least 50 people have been killed and others were injured in Egypt during clashes between police and supporters of President Mohammed Morsi.
Running street battles started after supporters of Morsi supporters, who claim he was deposed in a military coup in July, marched in several cities.
Hundreds of supporters of the military backed government had gathered in Cairo’s Tahrir Square to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
But the military succeeded in keeping the rival supporters apart, the BBC reports.
The interior ministry earlier warned it would confront any "attempts that may disturb the 6 October celebrations", the Mena state news agency reported.
The health ministry said that in addition to the Cairo deaths, one person was killed in Delga, about 300km (190 miles) south of Cairo, and another in Bani Suef, 80km south of the capital.
There were also clashes in the Suez Canal city of Ismailiya.
The Foreign and Commonwealth office had warned that protests were likely.
In its travel advice, it said: "Further protests are likely in the run-up to Armed Forces Day, a national holiday, on Sunday 6 October. You are strongly advised to avoid all demonstrations and large gatherings.
"If you become aware of any nearby protests, leave the area immediately. Don’t attempt to cross road blocks erected by the security forces or protesters."
The FCO is already warning against anything other than essential travel to all parts of Egypt apart from the Red Sea resort area, which includes Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada.
